Summary:
In this episode, Dan reminds us that success is NOT just about how much money you earn. Success is defined differently from one person to the next. Once we realize we are on a journey to finding WORTHWHILE goals and begin to pursue these goals—we will find ourselves closer and closer to finding true fulfillment and success. Listen as Dan lists possible reasons we’re not happy EVEN if we’ve found “success” and what it means to put-on a mindset of growth. You’ll also hear why staying in your comfort zone may be working against you.
